In the Han Dynasty (206BC-220), it was an independent shire controlling several districts. In the following dynasties, it was separated and combined again and again and once belonged to Shantou. In 1991, it was turned into a prefecture-level city under the approval of the State Council.

Physical Features: The city inclines from high west to low east. In its northwest and southwest lie hills and mountains while in the middle and southeast lie wide fertile plains.

Local Highlights: Jieyang is where Hakka (a special northern Han community melted with the southern China cultures) inhabit. The profound and interesting local flavor attracts tourists mostly. It is also a famous hometown of many overseas Chinese.

If you refer to Shimao Mingting Hotel in Jianyang Rd, Rongcheng District, then may the following can help!Walk east for about 5 minutes from the airport to Denggang and take bus 9 to Yupu Lukou, and then transfer to bus 11 to Furong Hotel. Walk west for about 5 minutes, you will get to your hotel. It takes about 40 minutes and CNY7.As for taxi, I heard the local taxies are not that reliable and it may take you CNY100.
